Well, I read the criteria. Not sure why a 2017 result counts but the other thing is not to be short sighted. Hayata did not have these results at the time of the selection.

You don't only play Chinese players at the WTTC. Sato does well against just about everyone other than the Chiness and she also puts pressure on the Chinese at specific times. It is sometimes short sighted to make it all about one tournament. The coaches also see these players more frequently...

Even without watching the video I can tell you 95% of what is happening. Scobie doo is good at returning serves. I also see that he is a lefty which is even weirder for DerEchte. DerEchte gets a lot of mileage out of people struggling with his serves. If you can return DerEchte's serves...

You are right.

That Yan An and Zhou Yu are out so early...

They either have a CNT specific tie breaker or use the international. The international is game scores with the highest ratio of games won to games lost being the tie breaker when all 3 matches are lined up and if game scores don't do it, use point scores. If this doesn't work then they have...

Omar Assar is also showing another level. It should not be underestimated.

Changing your racket can easily do it. The weight affects timing.

I usually play close and take the ball early. I cannot move well but I also can't bend too low so I am trying to find the right distance to compromise. But to take the ball early consistently, I need to touch the side of the ball to control spin at the table, I don't read spin well enough to...

Li Sun.

Getting the right separation from the ball enables you to judge the ball better. But so does experience judging spin, so sometimes, it is really just judging the ball better and not footwork.

It is great to hear it from a famous national Chinese coach.

My usual technique is to hit the ball with solid contact on the side and then push forward. I almost never racket edge unless I am too close to the table to let the ball kick.

This has to be one of the best videos ever translated. Thanks for performing a national treasure.

Does anyone hit the ball harder than Ionescu?

Here is one good player on the subject. In fact, your joints are all circular so unless you are trying to force your racket to act differently, it will generally follow the shape of the ball. https://youtu.be/eJuCMb79oWo The issue then becomes whether choice of racket path can accentuate...

Yeah. We disagree and we are both obviously trying to be civil despite intense disagreement. But I remember what the follow through doesn't matter theory did to my game. So I don't want someone who is trying to figure TT out to make the same mistake I did.

Okay. I think it is more important than that but your view is fine as well. I think a stroke is a vector as is spin. The turning effect of the whole stroke is what influences the contact. If I say start st 9 and finish at 3, the turning effect is very different from if I say start at 9 and...

Watching a stroke at half speed sometimes gives a deceptive idea of what the player is trying to do because you think what happens at half speed is what determined the full path and trajectory of the ball and forget that strokes need to be played in a large path with no pausing so you have to...

I 100% agree with this. At least, for my preferred playing distance, the 2 to 8 o clock paradigm to put it extremely is what is working for me. That is what I am trying to say.
